I have been in a hat-knitting mood lately, and this was the first one. The yarn is handspun from a colorful batt which has been in my stash for a while. I didn't like the colors as they seemed somewhat disconnected and didn't flow well, so I spun the black/taupe and then spun the lavender to brilliant blue. I had in mind some sort of stranded hat. I am so pleased at the outcome. I used a pattern from "Hats On" by Charlene Schurch, and I want to make a lot more from that book.
